    And if you did get a ticket they'd throw you under the bus.

    Ive stopped 10 miles short. My logs, my money, my ###. Your truck, your load, your problem mr dispatcher. New appointment please. So what if it's 4 weeks I'll wait that long, 10K dollars savings... no problem. (It would be a problem.... but I refuse to be burned out)

    When that fancy Elog tells you quitting time at 14 hours, you take off. Get some rest, food and downtime.

    Let em stew. Eff em.

    There was a time long time ago I was a hero. But it never always worked out that way and they never give a *&^% if it is in Timbucktu or in Camden.

    That actually is your fault for getting to the receiver with low hours. You should have stopped earlier and gained some hours. If u would have not made it to the truck stop and got pulled over or n a accident , DOT would have said it was poor planning on your part.
